Drug to Targets

biology

For a given drug (generic or brand), return all known molecular targets, mechanism of action, and related drug forms (salts, biosimilars). Targets are aggregated across the resolved drug and its salt/variant forms. A drug that cannot be resolved returns HTTP 500 with an explanatory 'not found' error naming the input - correct the drug name or report it is not in the graph; repeating the same input cannot succeed. A 200 with an empty targets list means the drug resolved but has no recorded molecular targets (common for older drugs or biologicals with debated mechanisms).

When to use it

understand a drug's mechanism of action
